C'mon guys I'm not trans, I just can't wait for this life to be over and hopefully I'm a girl next time around... Still cis though
If I could convince myself that rebirth was real, I'd probably be more okay with myself.
Like, yeah I feel pretty bad right now, but I'll be reborn as a nice girl at some point anyway, so no need to rush things ~
Unfortunately I am really bad at gettingyself to believe things.
Because you know this might be the only life you have? Even if you have infinite lives, you'll never get this one back 🧘♀️
Gender is sooo overrated.
I agree, gender is extremely overrated 🖤🤍💚🤍🖤
Sometimes I drop mine and live a few hours without it
I'm 48 and started Estradiol patches through informed consent 4 months ago (shout out to my EstraDoll@hexbear she was so inspiring) and i have tits and I cherish them.
i quit drinking and smoking and caffiene and eat super healthy now cuz i want them to grow big.
being a woman is incredible. I highly recommend it! Call yourself whatever! I love myself limitlessly now. I got a compliment on my cute skirts last week. I love sisterhood. Exfolisting your chest is real treat though owie.
I've been enjoying life since starting on estradiol, it's really nice just feeling correct. I've also been working on my voice for over a year, and I'm very happy with it! It's a joy to listen to recordings of it.
That sounds so good!
How difficult was the voice part? I am interested in working on that too.
Did you take professional help for it?
No professional help, Just Trans Voice Lessons and lots of messing around. Progress was slow though, and it took a while to bring all the pieces together. My biggest help was actually intentionally sounding more masculine (sometimes hyperbolically so) because that made it easier to take the negative of that (imagining voice as a vector space).
ohh i'm so looking forward to having my voice proper!! congrats!!!
Totally means nothing that i don't want my currently attached crotch-fruit. Definitely cis.
The more I look at it, the more it seems like a tumor -
I identify with this image. The way I've always liked to say it is that I'm not unhappy as a man, but I'd probably be happier as a woman. If I had the ability to just snap my fingers and make it happen like some kind of anime magic power then I would. But I don't feel any particular urge to transition.
Even with the magic honestly I'd probably keep my dick because futanari are hot as fuck girl dick is best dick
Same
Same :3
Still ~~sis~~ cis tho
I know this is meant to be mostly a joke but I do know AMAB people who identify as males or demiboys who choose to feminize themselves because they'd prefer a more feminine body, and also on the flip side there are transmasculine people who choose not to take testosterone because they'd prefer to stay feminine (I'm one of those 😜).
I don't really like this kind if thinking, as it reduces gender identity to the body, appearance, and parts we want. A person can be a girl who wants all those things, but a person can also be a boy who wants all those things, or even already has all those things and doesn't want to lose all or most of them.
I'm not trying to deny or invalidate you by any of this by the way, your identity is the way you identify, I'm just saying that we're more than our outward expressions of gender ya know, they don't define who we are.
The scenario in the meme doesn't mean 100% you're trans, but it does mean you should probably seriously consider that possibility. A lot of eggs don't say they're cis because of careful consideration, but because of fear of admitting their true selves.
Obviously you know yourself better than any meme or Internet stranger, and it's ultimately your judgment for yourself.
Exactly the individual knows themselves better than anyone else. I think everyone should question their identity, so they can better understand themselves and what they need to feel happy, but I also know that some people aren't ready for it and just won't do it, and they nee to be allowed to go at their own pace, and if they don't want to, they shouldn't and only do it if and when they are comfortable.

You must follow the Egg Prime Directive. You may not push or coerce people into identifying or not identifying a certain way. You must respect them as the gender they claim to identify as. In addition it is extremely in poor taste to make assumptions about other people's identities based on external factors, we understand it cannot be helped but it is best not to as it can affect the way you treat others in noticeable ways.
Recommendations:
We strongly encourage you to include your pronouns in your account bio so that others know how to refer to you without misgendering you. If you're questioning or unsure of your pronouns, that's totally cool—just say so.
